em gets (more) political
Watching the West Wing makes me read the news. Reading the news makes me think about issues. Thinking about issues makes me write emails to the prime minister (like this one).
Dear Mr. Martin,
I was concerned to read that Paul Cellucci (Canadian ambassador to the US)is of the opinion that
Canada is in favour of the American ballistic missile defense plan. As a
Canadian citizen, I would vehemently oppose lending support to this
project in any way. Supporting a plan like missile defense only
diminishes Canada's reputation as a country that cares about and
actively works for peace. If we are to truly be world leaders in
peace-building, it is essential that we do not endorse instruments of
war.
I hope that you will consider that many Canadians share my position
and carefully evaluate the international implications of Canada
adopting American military policy.
Thank you.
